FLASHBACK
I look around and there are a million lights. There must be thousands of people present as well. I am in someone's arms. I look to my left and see a boy, my age, in the other arm of the person holding me. This boy, is a young Newt. The person holding me drops my younger self and Newt on the ground. This person was a lady. I assume she was my mother.
- "Newt. Y/n. Make me proud kids. I love you both." She says.
She pulls us into a tight hug and then pulls away. She has tears in her eyes.
- "Mom." Newt and I both say.
Suddenly, these men in black suits carry Newt and I and takes us away. We are both screaming and crying. We are placed into this train. It is very dark. Newt and I are sitting next to each other. We are holding hands and I am trying to calm him down as he is crying. I look in front of me of what seems to be Ava Paige. I knew she looked familiar.
- "Thomas." She says, while looking at this boys close to Newt. "Everything is going to be alright. Trust me."

I suddenly wake up. It is now night and we are still in the helicopter. Thomas is asleep and the others are staring at us. I shake my head wondering if the dream I just had was really just a dream...but it didn't feel like it. It felt so real.
- "Ah you're awake, sleeping beauty." Says Minho.
- "Were are we?" I ask to the older guy that was with us.
- "You'll see."
The helicopter slowly starts heading down. I look outside the window and see this huge building. What the hell is this place? The helicopter lands and the doors open.
- "Come on! Quick!" The man says.
There are people outside firing their guns. What in the world are they shooting at.
- "LETS GO!" The guy says while getting out of the helicopter.
I turn to Thomas. I shake him.
- "Thomas!" I say trying to wake him up.
- "Go!"Minho says to me. "I'll take care of it!"
I nod and run outside the helicopter next to Newt. I dodge the bullets as best as possible. I turn around and see these weird looking people charging after us. They must be affected by the virus. I turn around and see Thomas running right behind us. Thank god he's alright.
- "Come on kids. Lets go! Let's go! Move it!" This random dude in a suite yells.
I run as fast as possible and this brings me back memories from the glade. I run inside the building and it is much bigger than I thought it was. The doors behind us slowly closes. Thomas is the last one to come in. He walks past us and I turn around to see bunch of people working inside. What is this place. I get a weird feeling about this.
- "Follow me. Quick." This guy in a black suit says to us.
There are two others next to him. They start running and we follow them. I look around in total shock. I didn't know that this many people existed. Thomas comes next to me, while we are still running.
- "Are you ok?" He asks.
- "Yeah. You?"
- "Yeah..."
- "What?" I nervously ask.
- "We still need to talk."
I look at him and swallow. I am not ready to have a conversation with him just yet. I turn around to Newt. 'You ok?' I mouth to him. He nods. 'Are you?', he mouths back to me. I nod. We run for a few minutes until the guy in the suit opens this door.
- "Go in. Come on. Go inside!"
We are all rushed inside.
- "Hey! What was happening out there?" Thomas says.
The guy closes the door and Thomas bangs on the door.
- "HEY! LET US OUT!"
The lights slowly open. I turn around and see a table filled with food. My eyes double. Oh my gosh. Now that is exactly what I needed.
- "Dibs on the rice!" Says Fry.
We all usher to the table and I dive right in.
- "WOW." I say biting into the best piece of chicken I have ever eaten in my life.
We are all eating as quickly as possible. I take a little bit of everything and shove my face with all the food. Everyone does the same. Usually I would find us quite disgusting, but this is a particular situation. Fry was a good cook, but this, this is a whole other level of greatness.
- "This is way better than Fry's food." Says Winston.
We all chuckle. Teresa throws some food at me.
Everyone laughs, but me.
- "Oh no you didn't." I say.
I throw some food back at her. She looks at me in shock, and before I know it, we are all throwing food at each other. I am laughing so hard that tears are strolling down on my cheeks. I haven't been this happy in a while.
- "Ok. Ok let's stop." Fry says. "We can't waste all of this amazing food. My tummy is hungry."
We all burst out laughing. We finish eating and sit down. I am sitting next to Thomas on the ground.
- "I know that look on your face." Says Thomas whispering in my ear.
- "What look?"
- "I don't know who these guys are, but they can cook." Says Fry.
I look at Thomas wondering what he is talking about.
- "Who are they really though?" Says Teresa. "I mean we don't know anything about them."
I nod my head in agreement to what Teresa just said.
- "Well we know they aren't friends of Wicked." Says Newt.
Thomas and I both look at each other. I don't agree with what Newt said and I have a feeling Thomas doesn't either. Maybe that was the "look" Thomas was referring to...For some reason, I don't trust these people and I don't know why.
- "That's good enough for me." Says Minho. "You guys think too much. We're free. Enjoy it."
- "Are we though?" I ask.
Everyone looks at me in silence. The door opens and we quickly get up. Another guard in a black uniform walks in.
- "You." He says pointing to me. "Come with me."
- "Me?" I say pointing to myself.
He nods.
- "Uh..."
- "Now!"
I look at him suprised, not excepting him to raise his voice at me. I slowly walk towards him. Thomas grabs my arm.
- "Where are you taking her?" He says.
- "She will be back soon."
- "She's not going alone."
- "Thomas. I'll be fine." I say, trying to calm him down.
I also had to say it out loud because I don't really believe I'll be fine. Like I said, I have a bad feeling about this place. Thomas lets go of me. I go next to the guard and turn around to the group.
- "I'll be back."
I get out and the guard closes the door. I sigh.
- "Follow me."
